A family member of mines bought two cars from this car dealer,I told him to find me a car at a certain price and he did and sent me the info on the car so I got approved for a car loan from my bank,and I gave him the check to purchase the car and he supposedly did and had it delivered I asked him and he said it takes no more then a month to have it delivered from California to Washington dc.Its been over a month and I still haven't received my car and ive already paid one car note and about to pay a second one and I don't have a car yet.I called my bank and they said once you give them the check and they deposit it there nothing the bank can do,Any help on what I should do next?


Answer
It sounds like someone is not being honest with you. You have probably been scammed. You should call whoever you gave the money to and find out what is gong on. You should start tracking people down and tracking the car down. You should find out if the check has been cashed or deposited yet. If it hasn't then I would cancel it. Somehow, you have g to get to the bottom of this and get your check back r get your car.

What is the diffrence between a car that has four wheel or all wheel drive?

I'm a bit confused about that. What really is the difference between 4 wheel drive and all wheel drive? Which drives better through snow & ice? Any info would be great.

PS. I looked at an SUV and on the windshield it had a car dealer stICKER THAT SAID 4X4 BUT when i checked on car fax the same car wa listed as an all wheel drive?!?

Merry Christmas to all of you.



Answer
Merry Christmas to you too!!! Too bad your new vehicle won't fit under the tree, but maybe the seller will put a bow on it for you!

There is a technical difference between AWD and 4WD (4x4), but for most of the buyers, it doesn't matter what they call it. Either system will do just fine in most all conditions except if going off-road or using it on a farm. For typical snow and ice driving, either AWD or 4WD (4x4) is fine.

The problem with car fax and some of the things you may read is that many don't understand the difference so they just say there is no difference.

If you would like to know about the differences, then read on...

AWD- Engine power can go to any one wheel or any combination of the four wheels automatically when a wheel starts to slip on loose surfaces. Power is not equally distributed to all wheels all the time. This is a benefit because most situations do not require all the wheels driving and by reducing the number of drive wheels, you get better gas mileage and better dry road handling characteristics. (It doesn't drive like a truck.) This system requires no driver input and is completely automatic.

4WD- There are two types of 4WD. Part time and Full time. Both of which utilize a 'transfer case' which is like a second transmission that allows for ultra-slow driving or crawling (as off-roaders like to call it).

-Full TIme 4wd. This is an automatic system similar to AWD in that NOT all the wheels have engine power all the time, but only when wheels are slipping. This type of drive arrangement is primarily rear wheel drive, but shifts power to the front wheels as needed.

-Part Time 4wd. You engage the vehicle into 4wd when needed, but the vehicle is usually left in 2wd (which would be rear wheel drive). Depending on the model and options, this is the ONLY type of 4WD system that has the wheels locked together so that all four wheels turn at the same time ALL the time. The transfer case lever or switch is usually labeled 2Hi - 4 Hi - 4 Lo.

If you care to know more about these systems, feel free to email me from my profile page. I can bore you to tears with discussions of axle and center differentials, axle and drive ratios and all the technical jargon that comes with it.

Happy New Year!
